Let’s get the ball rolling. We’re so happy to see you are off to a running start!

Is everyone here? Ok, let’s get started. You’re ready for this

Get started in 3 simple steps

1. Discover

Nobody likes reading manuals, so we've made our documentation super-brief. Just read the basics to understand what the API is doing and how. Then click to try the API and check the format of responses.

2. Experiment

Register to introduce yourself to us and we’ll provide you with test data to use in the Sandbox. You can then play to your heart’s content to get your application working just as it should. If you run into problems, just explore our comprehensive troubleshooting API documents.

3. Go live

Once you’re happy, get in touch with us so that we can approve your app or platform. Once it’s approved, you’ll see your product out in the world, handling real information, making real payments and carrying out real account reporting. We can even cross-sell your product in our Marketplace.

Frequently asked questions

It’s a platform of financial APIs offered by Hellenic Bank. Companies or developers interested in using the APIs can register and test them in a sandbox environment. The APIs' openness and modularity allow customers to experiment and innovate. The standards allow them to connect their systems very quickly. Openness to 3rd party solutions (e.g. FinTechs) enables platforms for partnerships and integrated value chains.

Once your register, we’ll send you an email. You can then go to the Sandbox environment. We’ll give you virtual credentials so that you can test your app with our APIs. You’ll be able to access everything the platform offers, free, from account balances to payments. You can even see your calls to our APIs so that you can see exactly how things are working.

It’s a dedicated test environment. It comes with some test data and a dedicated user login so that you can pretend to be an account holder and see what’s going on from their point of view. The Sandbox offers you the same functionality as the live API, so you can start developing your application without risk of losing money or unintentionally altering data.

Security is important to us. The Sandbox and the live environment are compliant with the latest security protocols. Using the OAuth2 security mechanism you'll get safe and authorised access to your data. For more information on secure access, visit 'API Docs' or our Troubleshooting guides.

The sky’s the limit. With our APIs you can built web apps, integrate them in your desktop applications and mobile apps. The APIs can be used to enhance ERP systems, build PFM (Personal Finance Manager) apps and banking apps. From digital banking and money management to account verification and payment processing services, APIs give your financial app more functionality. So that means greater value, a more innovative experience for users, and, ultimately, more user adoption and growth.

If you have no previous experience using APIs, we recommend you get help from an experienced software developer. But if you’re brave enough to have a go yourself, there are a set of guides to assist you in the process. Have a look at our ‘Getting Started’ guide, but also in the documentation of each API.

No. As a third party company or a developer you don’t need to be a customer to build software using our APIs. But because you’ll be using their data and we need to supply it, you’ll be offering your product only to customers of Hellenic Bank.
